Flipping between the rip of the SACD on the PWD and the actual SACD in the Oppo. No comparison on the SACD multichannel; it's just something else. But stereo to stereo, it's a toss-up, something I suspect may be due to the fact that extracting hi-res tracks from SACDs is still part voodoo. I know it's not in the cards, but I sure wish PS Audio could make an SACD-compatible PWT.

These albums bring back a lot of great memories of when I was stationed in Memphis Tennesee while I was in the Navy.

2 For 1 in the music bin at Amoeba Music in Hollywood ... Has anybody ever been there? This music store occupies an ENTIRE CITY BLOCK on Sunset Boulevard in downtown. It's the biggest music and movie store I've ever seen and maybe even the biggest in the world! The Jazz Room is crazy ... supposedly over a million titles!

Checking out that Duke SACD proved more challenging than I had thought. Found a new one on fleabay, "discounted" to $289, and thank goodness had the sense to do a more thorough search where I found another purportedly new one for just $160. Both claim to be sealed, but I have seen that before. Come Tuesday, we shall have a listen!
